I'm not sure just installing a radar is the solution. There are many of us who operate in the area and recognise the complexity and intensity. Not only are there a large number of wide-ranging activities (gliding, parachuting, GA, RAF etc etc) but the interaction is quite complex. Dropping-in a radar without significant planning, airspace redesign(?) and consultation may create more problems than it solves. I would suggest that there is a need to clearly define (simplify?) responsibilities otherwise there would be at least 3 radar units (Brize, Benson, Oxford) providing ATSOCAS in the same crowded bit of sky.

Maybe there are some lessons to be learnt from the Farnborough LARS development.
